a Railway Train Stopped by Fish.


Ibid you ever hear of a train being stopped
by fish" inquired an employee Of the Mchi
gan Central, addressing reporter. 81 dare
say you never did. Well, we had an expert
ence Of that kind on our road last Sunday.
Our east-bounG passenger train was actually
stopped and detained more than two hours
by fish The engineer pulled up at the
water tank in Michigan City to get the usual
supply of water for the boiler. But
when the fireman pulled the rope, no water
came out, though the gauge showed that the
tank was half full. determination showed
that the pipe was stopped up by fish
hundreds Of them, from little wee minnows
up to pretty good-sized perch. Nor
was it such an easy matter TO clear the orr
flee so that the water could flow out. The
stock of water was low in the tender,
and the engineer did not dare 10 run on to
another tank so there was nothing for it
but to clear the fish away A number of
passengers went out 70 help the trainmen at
the novel work, and after an hours labor
the little pests were sC0oped up and removed
in sufficient quantities to let water pass,
though good many fish went with the cur
rent into the water tank on the tender. At
last the engineer pulled out and all hands
supposed that the trouble was at an end.
But not so. The fish in the tender tank got
into the feed pipes connected with the boiler,
and upon starting his pump the engineer
found that il wouldn't work. The train was
stopped and again the passengers came out
to see what the matter wns, and some Of
them swore a good deal when they learned
that the train had been stopped again by
ilsh Al one time the engineer thought he
would be compelled 30 draw the fire from
his locomotive and wait until another en-
gine could reach tho Scene. The train lay
another hour az Buchanan station. and the
conductor was about 30 telegraph for a
locomotive when the engineer announced
that he bad succeeded IN starting the pump.
'fhe train then resumed is journey more
than two hours late, all ON account Of
fish
